    I still don't know who will win this fight. If Barrera wins it was that Amir Khan was a joke. If Amir wins it was because Barrera was in too many wars. Khan is dealing with the double-edged sword no matter what happens. A stupid fight in my opinion and Marco should have retired.

    Any fight Khan has is a dbl edge sword. If he fights a bum he'll get ridiculed. If he fights anyone of merit and does a faceplant within 3 rounds, he'll be ridiculed. I don't think it is such a bad fight for him to take. If he wins he will gain some credibility back, and maybe have a future in boxing. If he gets KTFO, well, time to call it a day.

    I think despite recent criticisms and the whole "glass jaw" fiasco, Khan will play it well and pick Barrera off with his jab. I guess all Barrera needs is that one punch to take Khan down but hopefully youth and speed will help him out far greater than Marco thinks.

    Khan can box if he wants to, just needs to not try out the Breidis Prescott "run in and hopefully clock him one" routine against a tough ol' Mexican, I think Khan will do it, TKO in the 7th

    Marquez couldn't stop him. Manny Pac couldn't stop him. And now Amir Khan is going to stop him??

    Barrera is going to end this punks career and stop people like you paying ludicrous PPV money to watch him fight more nobodies. Hopefully people will be grateful to Barrera once it's all done.

    Think your spot on miles

    People keep thinking khan haters are solely going on what happened against prescott despite the fact gomez and others have had him in big trouble already before.

    Roach can teach Khan to fight as well if not better than pacquiao and marquez combined - but the boy does not have a chin.....end of story

    Seriously that is something silly. He can teach him to be better but better skilled than Marquez not a chance? More naturally skilled as Pacquiao? Come on now

    Khan isn't even on their levels, Marquez and Pac are special fighters. Amir is probably just a warm cheque to Roach at the end of the day.

    Khan has been fed to the public facing crap, now finally he is fighting quality and going to stop it?? Don't make me laugh.

    He is the better fighter, at 135 im not sure though. My head is telling me Khan is going to get stopped one of the best fighters I have ever witnessed but there is something telling me Khan knows that if he doesnt win this hes really in for it. He has so many advantages over Barrera and if he can use them he can win this fight. Barrera is no where near as good as he use to be, I think there might be an upset here.

    dont get me wrong I wouldnt be surpised if Barrera gets him out early, Khans chin is really suspect.

    You cant really get a more evenly contested fight in the eyes of the bookmakers. Evens for Khan and 11/10 for Barrera, seriously good odds on Barrera if hes not shot. If he isnt then I suspect theres a lot of guys in the Barrera camp gona be investing heavily.

    was worried about MAB's frame of mind coming into this

    this news gives me a hell of a lot more confidence and I am now really looking forward to this one more than ever at the MEN - should be a good night.

    I will be fully behind MAB for this one but in a way I don't want the majority of the crowd to be pro Barrera - not right for Khan if you know what I mean

    My current thinking is now Barrera around 7 - six weeks ago I had him retiring on his stoll at end of 9th.

    roll on next week - see a few of you there
